LEAH CHARLES-KING

FOUNDER & CELEBRITY EXPERT

Leah Charles-King’s is a multi award winning TV & Radio Broadcaster, Producer, Speaker and Coach. Her story and the path to starting The Red Carpet Academy has been a journey of ups and downs, turns and twists. Yet through it all, one theme has emerged to define not only Leah as a person, but what her story teaches all of us: Follow your dreams and never give up!

Her career started at a young age, pursuing her onscreen goals as a child actress. As a teenager she burst onto the music scene as a founding member of the R “n” B group ‘Kleshay’ signed to Sony Music. After ten successful years and a two UK chart singles, she moved back into on-screen roles; this time as a TV Presenter and live correspondent. Today she enjoys international presenting assignments and hosting major events at some of the most iconic venues around the world. She is one of the faces of Jackpot247 on ITV, and also hosts and produces a weekly flagship music entertainment show on multi award-winning The Beat London 103.6FM. To add, she runs her own media production company, and is the founder and primary coach at The Red Carpet Academy.

Leah has worked for some of the most well-known media companies in the world, and rubbed shoulders with many celebrities, international music artists, actors, and world leaders, but she has also been turned down, turned away, and forced to figure out, “What’s my next step?” It’s this combination of the highest highs, and the lowest lows that give her the powerful and unique ability to successfully coach and mentor hundreds of aspiring presenters and public speakers.

Her story – combined with over 30 years in the entertainment industry as a whole – truly make her the perfect coach for you to follow and accomplish your on-screen dreams!

“Once you have gained effective presenting skills of an expert level, the possibilities are endless!”
